zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Feature:
Effects loop and blend knob, high-Z out, external speaker jack, speaker on/off switch - nothing fancy here, just every BASIC thing you would ever need in an amp, at very high quality. Unit is light, you definitely can carry it in one hand, bass case in other. The size and portability to sound quality and volume level ratio (if there is such a 'rating') probably put this amp at the top of the heap.

Quality:
Very sturdy, not a single problem thus far. Also, it's made in the USA, in Corona, Ca. Pretty sure Fender bought SWR. It didn't used to be so important to me to buy things made in the USA, but with all the high-priced GARBAGE coming out of China these days, it's comforting to know that craftsmen/women in our country still give a %#@& about quality. It was worth the price just to get something made like they used to make them. God, that makes me feel old saying that...

Value:
I will have to see how it lasts in the long run. I got a great deal on it from zZounds because it was an 'opened product' or floor model, don't really know. But, it came in original box, packing and sealed manual, documents, warranty cards, etc.

Desirability:
It looks really cool, shiny silver grate, unique color, soft material covering. I wanted it so bad that I was willing to endure the stink-eye from my wife when I told her I bought it (we were planning our wedding at the time and couldn't really afford it). Yes, it has great sex appeal.

Sound:
I am an amateur/learning/hack/poser bass player, this is the third amp I have had (Peavey TKO 150 and and Ampeg 115 before). This amp is by far the best sounding, albeit more expensive. You can plug in active bass to active or active/passive jack depending on how much 'detail' you want to hear. I'm still tweaking all the sounds I can get from EQ with my active bass, I haven't even wanted to plug in effects yet.

Ease of Use:
Manual is actually pretty helpful in getting you to what sound you want.

Support:
No problems with unit so I haven't had to call them yet, but folks on the phone at zZounds are very good, so I'll give the support rating a 9 to keep the overall score up. This amp is worth all the praise I can give it.

Overall:
I will have this amp for a long time. Its quality would satisfy players well above my skill range, and its sound is good enough that it makes me want to play it every day. If I ever need more volume (which I almost certainly never will) I can make/buy a speaker to slave off it, or I can go XLR out into a big PA, etc.

Quality:
Top notch SWR quality, extremely road worthy.

Value:
Expensive, but if you like nice equipment and want the most compact professional rig available, this is the amp for you.

Sound:
Amazing big sound, SWR quality and unbeatable portability. Unles its a big venue, I take my SWR Baby Baby Blue.

Support:
No problems yet so no reason to contact SWR.

Overall:
This one is a keeper. Played vintage Ampeg, Acoustic Image, Aguilar, Epifani, Fender, vintage Polytone. My Baby Baby Blue is the most convenient combination of sound and portability and I now use it the most. All you young guys, when you hit 50, small is beautiful.

Feature:
I would give it a 10 if it had tolex covering instead of the kind that every hair and piece of dust clings too . Otherwise it has every feature that you need .

Quality:
Its among SWR's top line equipment .

Value:
Very spendy but the quality is there !

Desirability:
I wanted great tone in a small package ,, this is it .

Sound:
Its the ultimate , very small bass amp . It really does deliver the best of SWR tone and gets impressively loud for its size . Sound is very clean and true to your instrument . This EQ is great for adding or rolling down or off all the frequencies . For a 5 string bass , i can take some of the very lows down to increase the volume without distortion at some pretty impressive volumes without sacrificing low end tone . Again , its best classified as the ultimate small bass amp . If you have the $$ and you want a great light weight amp ,,, this is for you .

Ease of Use:
Class A Simple and light , anyone can achieve good tone with this amp .

Support:
I really don't know , never had to contact SWR .

Overall:
I hope it last a long , long time .
